Why Choose Sustainable Custom-Printed Magazines from Forest Print?
Sustainability in magazine printing comes down to decisions made before the job goes to press. We focus on the choices that have a measurable impact.
For magazine printing, that means:
- FSC-certified paper options from recognised mills, available across coated and uncoated stocks
- Right-sized paper weights: if your publication does not need 157 gsm interior pages, we will say so
- Matte and soft-touch lamination on covers, where it suits the brief
- Plant-based inks are available across our print range
- Efficient press layouts to minimise waste during production
- Durable binding matched to how the publication will actually be used
Our facility in China holds Green Factory certification. Australian businesses can meet sustainability commitments without compromising on print quality or budget.
Designed for Australian Publishers & Businesses
From independent magazine titles to high-volume commercial publications, our custom magazine printing services are built to support Australian publishers, brands, and organisations with flexible specifications, consistent print quality, and reliable production timelines.

Paper Stock and Finish Guide
Paper is one of the most overlooked decisions in magazine printing. Here is what matters.
Cover stock is heavier than the interior to give the publication structure. Common cover weights range from 250 gsm to 350 gsm.
Interior page weights
| Paper Weight | Typical Application |
| 80 gsm | Lighter stock, cost-effective for high-volume or newsprint-style magazines |
| 100 gsm | Standard interior weight for general commercial titles |
| 115–130 gsm | Mid-weight; good colour vibrancy and a better feel in hand |
| 157 gsm | Premium weight for image-led and photography-heavy publications |
Coated vs Uncoated
Coated paper (also called art paper) produces sharper image detail and more saturated colour. It is the standard choice for glossy and colour magazine printing where photographic quality matters. Uncoated paper has a warmer, more tactile feel and suits editorial and literary publications. FSC-certified and recycled stocks are available across both.
Cover Finishes
| Finish | Effect | Best For |
| Gloss lamination | Vivid, high-contrast | Consumer, lifestyle, product magazines |
| Matte lamination | Soft, low-glare | Corporate and premium publications |
| Soft-touch lamination | Velvet-like texture | High-end brand editions |
| Spot UV | Selective gloss applied over matte | Accent details and logos |
| Foil | Metallic effect | Premium or limited-edition covers |
Available to registered Australian businesses, agencies, and publishers.
